An image capture system including a statistics module. One embodiment includes receiving an application cookie from the client application and populating a service cookie based on information in the application cookie. The video communication data may be evaluated to detect a pause or resume event for the transmission of the video communication data. The phase shift means is arranged to adjust the phase angle of all the remaining phases by the same predetermined angle to maximize the torque ripple-free power output of the synchronous electrical machine. Thus, when transmitting data via the communication network, the data transmission completion time is designated in advance for data transmission.
